The Spanish specialist praised the performance of his wards in the first half of the meeting at the Poljud Stadium in Split.
“We controlled the ball in the first half and understood that Croatia will be a difficult opponent on their field. In the second half we conceded a goal, but we also had opportunities to score. I can only be proud of my players. Despite eight or nine rookies, I think a draw is a fair result. Croatia had good opportunities, but we had a strong first half,” said the 51-year-old Portuguese captain.
Earlier, Croatian head coach Zlatko Dalic also spoke about the match.
